Okavango Gin

We believe in a different measure of time. Not in minutes or hours, but in moments. Not in schedules, but in seasons. Not in deadlines, but in sunsets.

Here, in the heart of the Okavango Delta, nature dictates the rhythm. Waters that have journeyed a thousand miles, filtered through sand and papyrus, meet native Mopane and wild Marula to create something magical — a gin that tastes like nowhere else on Earth.

The Ingredients

Mopane Seed: It is Botswana's version of the Juniper. It is our very own, extraordinary discovery. It contains a-Pinene, an organic compound of the terpene class, and a key element which gives our gin its signature flavour.

Okavango Waters: At the heart of our gins is the sand and papyrus filtered waters from the Tsutsubega floodplain, the result of a thousand-mile meander from the Okavango's origins in the highlands of central Angola.

The Name

The Sentinel: Dotted across the endless floodplains of the Okavango Delta are thousands of termite mounds. These distinct landforms are the origins of nearly all islands within this pristine wetland. In a landscape that is remarkably flat, these mounds form the perfect lookout point for 'The Sentinel.' This is a member of a baboon troop that perches aloft a termite mound surveying the floodplains for the ever-present threat of predators that roam freely across this land.

The Sundowner

The Sentinel Gin, Premium Indian Tonic Water, Orange. Okavango Gin is synonymous with an Okavango Sundowner. A local tradition to end the day with a moment to appreciate our surroundings and our people when the sun sets. Visitors to the Okavango have taken this ritual with them, because everywhere on earth has a sunset and everyone needs a moment of appreciation.
